An M580 Ethernet RIO (EIO) architecture with Modicon X80 I/O drops requires the use of a dedicated adapter in each Modicon X80 drop.

The BMECRA31210 adapter supports:
- Ethernet and X-bus communications across the remote backplane
- Several expert modules such as counting and weighing modules
- CCOTF (Change Configuration On The Fly)
This adapter is designed to be installed on an Ethernet backplane in the main remote rack
Connected by Ethernet cordsets fitted with RJ45 connectors
LED display block indicating the module status
Rotary switches for setting the address of an EIO drop (00 - 159)

This is part of the Modicon X80 range, a common platform of modules designed for Modicon M580 and M340 Programmable Automation Controllers (PAC). This Ethernet Remote Input Output (RIO) drop adaptor features 3 ports with Ethernet backplane. Integrated connections include Ethernet/IP for device network and Ethernet/IP for service port. The product is robust, high-quality, and based on the latest innovative technology. It operates at an IP20 rating and is suitable for medium to large process applications. Certified by CE, Merchant Navy, GOST, and C-Tick, it complies with standards such as EN 61131-2, EN 61000-6-4, EN 61000-6-2, and EN 61010-2-201. The BMECRA31210 is compatible with multifunction input module BMXERT, Ethernet module BMXNOM, counter module BMXEHC, and weighing module PMESWT. The Modicon X80 platform reduces maintenance and training costs by using the same spare parts across different PACs

• Ethernet/IP for device network facilitates communication with other devices
• Ethernet/IP for service port enables efficient service and diagnostics
• IP20 rating ensures protection against dust and solid objects

• Connects and communicates with remote I/O devices
• Enhances efficiency and reliability in modern industrial setups

The BMECRA31210 serves as an Ethernet Remote Input Output (RIO) drop adapter for seamless communication between input and output modules.

Yes, it is suitable for medium to large process applications.

Schneider Electric Modicon M580
